Energised
Energised is a new music commission series featuring nsw musicians and composers Ben Carey, Del Lumanta, JWPaton and Alexandra Spence. In this series, organic live performative works will be improvised in dialog with Regenerator (2021), an installation by artists Wona Bae and Charlie Lawler that’s featured in The National 2021. Drawing from the energy harnessed through the artwork, the musicians manipulate sound using a combination of organic instrumentation and 21st century digital processes that play between the real and the digitised, and the familiar and unknown.
Expect ambience, noise, field recordings, tape loops and manipulated sounds that collide in the Gallery’s entrance court. Energised resonates with global alternative music practices and creates new sonic terrains and deep auditory experiences.
A free digital audio EP of the performances will be available in late 2021 for download and on streaming services.
